Advice & Settlement Agreement

I needed help and advice on an employment matter, and had spoken to a few different lawyers and solicitors. I was in the process of things progressing but I wanted someone more local to me incase things progressed in a different direction, and that had clear and understandable pricing so I knew how to proceed without the fear of unexpected financial burdens. My initial contact was with Mara, she was quick to respond, with clear, direct and helpful advice. Their pricing structure put me at ease because I knew exactly where I would stand and what I would have to pay, and what my Employer would pay. I then dealt with Victoria, who again was quick and clear with finalising it all. They made an unpleasant and stressful situation much easier to deal with. I would highly recommend.
